Synopsis

Nancy Huston explores the unlikely journey of a child born in mid-20th century Western Canada who becomes a bilingual Parisian novelist and essayist. Through an 'intra-uterine autobiography,' she recounts her life story to her fetal self, 'Dorrit,' navigating family complexities, constant relocations, and the omnipresence of music. Literary creation emerges as Dorrit's path to survival, as Huston traces the themes that shaped her work, citing influences from Beckett to Woolf.
